Camp 9 Recreation Area is a concessionaire-managed campground in California's Central California District, on land overseen by the Bureau of Land Management. It sits about 0.1 mile from Camp 9 Group #1 and Camp 9 Group #2, which makes it easy to pair with a group site for a longer stay. The site has vault toilets, and a fee is charged for use. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 73°F and October highs around 81°F, while July and August average highs near 98°F. Lake Isabella, about 2.2 miles away, offers fishing, and the Backside Boulder climbing area is about 2.7 miles off. Isabella Peak Lookout and the Coso Mine Loop hike are both about 3.2 miles away.
